Can only access certain websites, help!!

Question

When I go to certain websites I have always gone to it directs me to msn live search stating a few websites to choose from that I might be looking for, which is the original site I intended to go to.  Whwn I click on that link it goes to a blank page.  If I use IE it does the same thing with the google live search.  For example if I type in www.espn.com in the address bar it goes to the live search and states 'where you looking for espn.com?'   I cannot access most support websites like msn support or Dell support.  I am doing this post at work.  After talking with Qwest whom I have DSL thru they stated it might be a bug.  Has anyone had a similar problem?   Some websites I can access fine, like google, amazon, or ebay.  but most others I get re directed or get a blank page that never loads.   Thanks

Sounds like it may be a redirection or DNS issue. Try resetting your HOSTS file as outlined here: http://malektips.com/spyware_adware_0017.html
